I grew up just outside of New York City and by and large spent most of my childhood close to home. After graduating from college, I took a job in Saudi Arabia and followed it around the middle east and Africa.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After 8 years of working abroad, the time has come to get back out of my comfort zone and on the road. I'm riding a motorcycle wherever I get an itch to ride, and bringing my not very good banjo playing skills along with it.

Interests

I like live music in small bars, simple beer, rock climbing, old trucks, watches, motorcycles and flashlights.

Music, Movies, and Books

Old Irish and American folk music, sea shanties, and most music that has a banjo or a fiddle in it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm handy with a wrench, saw or hammer. I spend too much time working on old cars and trucks but it's a generally enjoyable hobby.
